The UAE-Oman rail network is expected to bring a new era of connectivity and economic growth for Oman and help the GCC region to become a global logistics hub.

Oman has long sought serve as a bridge and highlight its location for further collaboration with its GCC neighbours.

“Oman’s location in the Arabian Peninsula plus with its access to deep-sea ports overseeing the Indian Ocean outside of the chokepoint of Hormuz Strait offers an almost perfect stop between the West and the East,” said Mahmood Al Wahaibi, managing partner at Oman Think Urban and infrastructure lead at the Oman National Spatial Strategy project.
